Good OS, most known for its gOS Linux that debuted in Wal-Mart computers, today announced “Cloud,” a new operating system that boots into a browser with Google, Yahoo! and Live in seconds, and optionally boots into Windows. Good OS will preview Cloud on a GIGABYTE Touch-Screen Netbook at the Netbook World Summit and online at http://www.thinkgos.com. GIGABYTE Touch-Screen Netbooks will be preloaded with Cloud and Windows XP together early next year.

I have been infatuated with instant on Operating Systems since reading Jeff Raskin’s The Humane Interface almost 10 years ago. The prospect of having one on a tablet is exciting, but upon thinking further, isn’t it no more than a Pocket PC? Instant on, Touch Screen… It makes my 8 year old iPaq feel like the wave of the future.
